Colossyan Screen Capture is a free Chrome and Edge extension. Narrate as you click, review every step, then turn it into an interactive video, a full course* or a step-by-step PDF guide.

*Course conversion is coming soon.

What you get

One click-through in.
Interactive training out.

Colossyan Screen Capture records your clicks, screenshots and narration in any website or web app, then builds an interactive video where each step waits for the viewer to click.

It lands as an editable Colossyan video. Add a presenter, translate it into 100+ languages, and share it as a link, an embed or a SCORM package with completion tracking. Or turn the same capture into a full course*, with nothing to rebuild in another tool.

The video waits for the viewer

Each scene stops until the viewer clicks the right spot, so they do it instead of watching it.

Blur what nobody should see

Click any part of the screen to hide it. The capture pauses while you pick.

Edit it like any Colossyan video

Resize a hotspot, rewrite a line, add an avatar or translate it. It is a normal draft, not a locked file.

Fix it before it builds

Every step shows its screenshot, its click and its script. Reorder or delete steps, paste in a better screenshot, zoom in, or drag a click to the right spot.

Export a step-by-step guide

Need it on paper too? Turn the same capture into a PDF with every screenshot, click and instruction in order.

From walkthrough to full course*

Capture the process once and turn it into a complete course, without rebuilding it in another tool.

Three steps

How do you capture
an interactive walkthrough?

The capture builds a draft you can edit, not a recording you have to accept.

  1. Add the extension to Chrome or Edge, start a capture and click through the flow as your viewer would. Each click becomes a step. Pause, restart or blur at any time.

  2. Check each step's screenshot, click marker and script, which fills in from your narration. Reorder, duplicate or delete steps, replace a screenshot, zoom and pan, or move a click that landed wrong.

  3. Convert it to an interactive video or a full course*, then share a link, embed it or export it to your LMS as SCORM. Need it on paper too? Export the same capture as a step-by-step PDF guide.

What you can capture

One extension.
Every walkthrough.

If you can show it in a browser, you can capture it. Software training is where most teams start.

The difference

Watching it is not doing it.

A screen recording and a text to video give people something to watch. An interactive walkthrough makes them do it.

Browser extensions get reviewed before approval. Check every vendor, including us.

    It needs access to the sites you record to capture clicks and screenshots. We’ll walk your security team through each permission.

  • Sensitive data stays out

    Blur any part of the screen during a capture to keep sensitive data out.

  • Security review-ready

    Covered by the Colossyan platform: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, SAML SSO and EU or US data residency.

  • Your content stays yours

    Walkthroughs you create are yours to use commercially, like every other Colossyan video.
